BUT, there is one thing that GZ could probably do while in jail and that was watch TV. He could probably get updates via FT who said in more than one interview that there was money in the accounts...That timeline was extremely helpful. If GZ was the only one with the account information, and he turned himself in within 48 hours of the website going live, I can see a real possibility that he was shocked to find $150K in the account when he got out on bail, especially if the other sites had only collected a few thousand at most.
I maintain that I doubt that he received any phone calls while in jail, other than with his lawyer. MOM surely would have told him not to.
GZ could have known that when FT said "Two Hundred" that indeed he meant $200,000 as opposed to $200. No interviewer seems to have confirmed what he meant by just saying, "Two Hundred."
Then, in court today O'Mara did the same trickery by saying, "Two Hundred, $204,000." He did not say Two to approximately $204,000. This was a swift way to make it sound like everyone talks like that. But most people would something like, "between 200 and 204 thousand dollars." Neither O'Mara or FT put it that way. Each said, "Two Hundred, Two hundred and Four thousand dollars."
IMO, FT told GZ, via his interviews on NG, just how much was in the account. When he said, "Two Hundred," it is my opinion that, people in the inside circle knew he meant $204,000 and not $200.
And, anyone who understands lying by omission knows:
When a balance is constantly changing it is not a lie to say, "No, I don't know how much money I have." Because, who among us knows down to the penny exactly how much money they have? The Prosecutor should have said, "Well, how much was in the account the last time you checked?" or "If you could give a ballpark figure within say $100,000, what do you think is in the account?"
Justice in this country is about semantics and asking a question in a way that someone cannot lie by omission. Whoever does it best or however lies by omission the best will win the case. (ALL OF THE ABOVE IMO, OF COURSE.)
